Read MoreHide Full Article
Ballard Power Systems (BLDP - Free Report) announced that it has received an order for two of its 200-kilowatt (kW) fuel cell modules from Siemens Mobility GmbH (“Siemens”) to power a 2-car MireoPlus H passenger train through a trial operation in Bavaria, Germany. Ballard plans to deliver the modules ordered by Siemens for a trial operation in Bavaria in 2022.
These fuel cell modules will open up options for emission-less transport and assist in mobility in non-electrified rail lines. It has developed the 200 200kW fuel cell modules under a multi-year Development Agreement with Siemens. The fuel cell module-driven trains have a speed of 100 miles per hour and range of 500 miles.
These fuel cell modules are suitable for both passenger and freight trains, and offer an excellent opportunity to lower mass transport-related emission.

Future of Fuel cell Technology
Fuel cell technology converts the chemical energy in hydrogen and oxygen to electrical energy. Fuel cells are potable like the ones used in the transportation sector and also stationary, providing stable electricity without creating emissions.
Despite the huge advantages in the usage of fuel cell technology to create emission-less electricity, the primary drawback is its cost compared with conventional sources of energy. The ongoing research and development activities performed on the fuel cell technology will make it commercially viable, as its primary advantage is that it is emission less and take far less space to create electricity than conventional energy plants.
